We brought this up a long time ago and back then it was too soon to consider. But as we revisit inventory some in this stage, I'd still love to see reagent restocking not only from merches but also from the bank. That would let me specifiy 5 super mana and 5 major mana pots on a char, and any time I hit that characters bank (ignore the guild banks) if I was a potion or two short I'd top off.
I truly cant say how easy or hard that would be but it seems like it would be much the same coding logistics as when doing so at vendors, minus the cash. Could you consider what it would require and let me know if it might fly again please?
Thanks

I'm thinking of how I will add this feature to LunarSphere. As was mentioned by Exuro, I could make another tab entirely and have that tab be a clone of the Reagent tab, but for restocking of bank items. Another idea is to have an extra column next to the numbers in the reagent tab. The number column is to state how much of an item we want (which already exists), and the other is a check mark which will be for the "Bank" or "Bank only" or "Bank Stock" or "Restock from Bank" or something else of that naming convention. If it is checked, it will pull the item from your bank if it exists and "top off" at the number specified.
I can also add another check box, called "no more than" or "Limit" or something like that and, if checked, LunarSphere will make sure that you don't go over that number, ever. This is good for Warlocks and their soul shards, so it will make sure you don't go over 16 or 24 or however many the warlock wants. I don't know of any other item that people would want to set a limit on (and throw away if they get too much) other than the shard ... so adding that extra check box might be a little much and I might just add a check box elsewhere called "Max soul shards: [________]" And the user types in the amount they want. *shrug*

Here's a few ideas:
1) Rename reagents tab to "Restock" and then have 2 subtabs within that, one reagent, one bank, each of which would be a copy of each other w/ different functions.
2) Rename reagents tab to "Restock". Change the columns from Reagent and Count to Item, Reagent, and Bank or something like that. Then add another place to insert numbers for the bank count. Make the length of the item window longer b/c there would be a lot more options in there now.
I think the 1st idea would not be as cluttered. For a couple of notes, you can do a printout for what items are transferred. Also, I don't think you need a limit checkbox. All you would need is another count box like is currently there for reagents. Then LS try's to fulfill that amount. It will never go over that amount, and if there is not enough things in the bank to meet the desired requirement, it can print out an optional out of stock message.

To expand on this idea, you could make it so things could travel to other way. From your bags to your bank. For example if you always keep your primals/motes or say heroic badges in the bank, you could add them to a list and every time you go to your bank, it automatically deposits the items. This would not require a number count like the withdraw would because all items would always be selected. If implemented it might warrant a completely solo "bank" tab.

That's another good idea. If I'm going to go all the way with an idea like this, I will need to wait until after the public release then. A bank tab might be the way to go ... we'll see

It has been decided that you will able to restock from your bank, but not the other way like I suggested in my previous post. At least I think. I actually like it that moon is keeping it simple and just adding the check boxes in instead of adding an entirely new tab. He said it would be out before the public release. I'm hoping the next one, but who knows.

Meh, I added this feature, but it isn't like anything we talked about. The auto-restock from back is a setting you can turn on under the "Auto-restock reagents" option. If you turn on the "Also restock from bank" options, all items in the list will also be checked when you visit the bank and they will be pulled from the bank as well. No separate check boxes per item, nor a separate tab.
Hopefully this works out okay. I'm sure people dump their reagents in the bank sometimes, so LS might be a little troublesome and regrab that stuff when you visit the bank, but that's what I have so far.
After the public release, I will consider a separate bank tab that will handle deposits to the bank as well. That's a cool idea and I still like it. So, grats/ding on the bank restock everyone.
